Methodology & sources
Statistics on this page cover FHRS-rated food establishments and Companies House registrations geocoded within West Sussex. Coverage spans all 48 ceremonial counties of England; figures for West Sussex are not extrapolated to the rest of England.
FHRS data comes from local authority hygiene ratings published by the Food Standards Agency. Companies House records (legal name, status, incorporation date, registered office) are ingested separately — there is no cross-match between inspected premises and registered companies on this page.
Rating activity uses the published date of each establishment's latest FHRS score. KPI windows are 30 and 365 days. Company incorporations use date_of_creation from Companies House. Figures refresh when the UK daily pipeline runs.
